Spicy Eggplant Recipe

Spicy Eggplant Recipe

This spicy eggplant recipe has a nice sour spicy blend that camouflages the light bitterness of the eggplant, making it a great vegetarian dish for all occasions.

A familiar fall harvest vegetable, eggplant, also known as brinjal (India, UK, Australia) and aubergine is cultivated in many parts of the world from the time it was domesticated in north-eastern India more than two thousand years ago. Today there are various types ranging from the round small variety to the large pendulous types and the thin long variety. They also come in different colors - from the familiar purple (aubergine) to white and streaked green varieties. For this recipe I have made use of the long purple variety.

Add the coriander powder and fry for a minute and then add chili powder, turmeric powder and cumin powder. Keep frying for another minute.

Rinse the eggplant pieces once in fresh water and drain. Add the pieces to the fried masala in the pan. Mix well and add salt. Add a cup of water and mix. Cover the frying pan with a steel plate which can hold a glass of water in it. This will ensure that the vegetable that is cooking

Your page is beautifully done. Have to laugh though because if you ask me which food I dislike the most, yep, you guessed it, eggplant! Still, blessing the page.

@radhanathswamifan: Hope it comes out well, because the garlic is what gives the curry that flavor and the other spices add to it.

I don't think I've ever had eggplant but my mouth is sure watering now for this delicious sounding creation of yours, I'm trying to imagine that blending of unique flavors. I love how you display your ingredients so artfully...deliciously done!

Thanks, I have always wondered about cooking aubergine, I had heard it had to have lots of "things" done to it. I also have all the other ingredients in the house (we like real curries) except for cilantro leaves. I don't like them - they taste soapy to me. Will have to try this. :)

Looks great. Spices are filled with vitamins and nutrients, and eggplant is so versatile.
